Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority

The APVMA regulates the safety and effectiveness of agricultural and veterinary chemical products in the Australian marketplace. It does this by assessing applications for product registration based on human safety, animal or crop safety, environmental and worker safety, effectiveness, and risk to overseas trade, by specifying conditions of use, and through post-registration quality assurance and compliance programs.
